I was hoping to use my cast iron pan more often since I got it almost a year ago. As my helper seldom use the cast iron pan, I was afraid it might become white elephant at home. So I figured I'd better use it more often. A sudden craving for cake made me bake a blueberry skillet cake with added pecans. The verdict for this cake is really good. With loads of blueberries and pecans on the cake, it gives really good texture. I would exclude caramelising if I were to make this again. The caramelised sugar didn't turn out too well for me since I reduced the quantities. I also made some changes to the steps.Recipe for Blueberry Pecan Cast Iron Cake, modified from Taste of Home.(Makes a 10" cake)Ingredients:30g Unsalted butter90g Brown sugar1 tsp Lemon juice2 packets (250g) Fresh blueberries80g Toasted pecans, coarsely chopped188g Plain flour80g Sugar2 tsp Baking powder1/2 tsp Salt1 Egg130g Plain Yogurt113g Unsalted butter, room temperature1 tsp Vanilla extractMethod:1.
